By extension, the polycentric and polyrhythmic body alludes to the fragmentation of the body into multiple centers capable of articulating more than one rhythm simultaneously.

In the lineage of capoeira known as capoeira angola, for example, the multi-metered pace with which players rock their bodies back and forth, and the multi-linear pathways they construct as they tumble across the floor, alternating the use of feet, hands, and head to support their bodily weight, prepare them to shift directions and intentions seamlessly and with a sense of coolness.
